At a secret base not far from Kyoto, Island Nation, martial law had been declared. No non-essential personnel were allowed in. Ordinary workers and researchers had all been given the day off and were forbidden from approaching the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.

In the Supercomputer's central control room, Mai Ao stood at the head of a group of Special Forces soldiers standing solemnly at attention. Two specially made safes sat nearby.
She had been sent by the Prime Minister to oversee the transport of the Artificial Intelligence program.
